Holy shit. I'm surprised.
edit:
According to a crappy Babelfish translation, they are hitting simultaneously. And that Capcom wants to promote a multiplatform strategy for many of their games.

There were rumors about so many games going multiplatform. There was also a rumor about Capcom dropping/porting several PS3 games. I'm guessing this is just one of them.

I think you can point to 2 games specifically here. Lost Planet and Dead Rising. Those games sold a ton for Capcom and as a result they're highly impressed with the 360 and its fanbase.

The horrendous PC port of RE4 makes me fear for anyone wanting to pick this up on the PC. Yuck.
This is 1 of 2 that I've been saying would not be exclusive to the PS3. The only true exclusives were going to see on any system this go-round are going to be the first party offerings. EDIT: Or the stuff that can only be done on one system, namely tripping motion sensing / pointer stuff on the Wii.
If (when) Capcom brings Dead Rising to the PS3 I hope they clean it up a bit. I was really underwhelmed with that game. It had a lot of promise and lot of neat ideas, but the control and the overall design of the game were pretty lacking. Sony owners might be better off getting a cross-platform made DR2.

Well, that depends on how long the 360 version has been in the works. We just heard about it now, but it has probably been in the works for a while, so we won't know how much of the 'potential' version will be sacrificed because of this news. As long as it turns out good, I don't care. I realize it could probably benefit from being exclusive as more effort and resources would be concentrated on the actual game and not porting, but that could be said about all games, and is sort of a pointless argument to make.

jer7583
03-19-2007, 11:14 PM
I think that FFXIII is far enough away that multiplatform announcements won't come for a while. It really depends on two things.
How long it takes the 360 version to be ported from the PS3 version. (say, 6 months)
And also what the PS3's install base is those 6 months or whatever from FFXIII's release.
I think that's when we'll see square-enix decide if a port will be done. If 360 still has a lead of about 10 million or more in NA when FFXIII is up for porting, I think it'll show up on 360 at some point.

That lead of 10 million consoles for Microsoft is worldwide, I believe. But regardless, if they continue to have that much of a lead on the PS3 throughout most of 2007, I agree that we will most likely see FFXIII show up on the 360, even if Square didn't originally intend for it.
That said, MGS4 is the game I'd like to see go multiplatform even more, and it probably had the better chance of doing so. FF is easily a more popular series than MGS so even if Square can potentially risk it with FFXIII, I'm not sure Konami will be as willing.
As for the 360 version of DMC4 and whether it will be a port and/or inferior, I wouldn't worry about it. Capcom has said previously that the NT Framework engine (used in Lost Planet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_planet), Dead Rising (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Rising), Devil May Cry 4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMC4) and possibly RE5) is designed specifically for development on a PC which allows them to port to either the PS3 or 360 with relative ease.

Hmm. So now the only game I want to play on the PS3 is the "of course it's coming" God of War 3 and maybe MGS4 (never been a huge fan of the gameplay, but great games to watch other people play for some reason)..interesting. Hopefully by the time that hits shelves, PS3 will have seen a price drop.

They why aren't they porting those titles over to the PS3 then? This seems really odd to me, I'm not really seeing the reason why they are going multi-system with this title only. All I can think of is that Sony wasn't willing to cough up the dough to keep it on their system only, and MS was ready to throw buckets at them.
I'm sure it comes down to money. It just can't be about making more money by having the title on more then one system... They aren't spreading the titles mentioned above around.

EGM theorized that MS payed to keep Dead Rising and supposedly a sequel exclusive. As far as Lost Planet, couldn't say, but personally, if I were a PS3 owner, I wouldn't feel too bad about missing out on it.

Well, with the PS3 having such a small fanbase, it could very well just be about making more money by having a bigger audience. Porting something from PS3 to the 360 leads to almost 10x the amount of potential consumers, however, going from 360 to PS3 is about 1/10th the fanbase. The amount of effort is about the same for either process, which is why you are more likely to see PS3 games leaving, rather than 360 games leaving.

1/10? The 360 is about at 10 million and the PS3 is just over 2 million, so 1/5 is the correct answer and even then, that doesn't include European sales that'll happen at the end of the month.

Yea, forgive my numbers. They were off, and it was not my intention. My point still stands though, at this point, going from PS3 to 360 is much more appealing than the other way around.
Also, has it really hit the 2 mill mark? Last I heard it was at 1.6 mill but that was back in Jan or Feb I think. 2 Mill is impressive. I guess, with all 3 consoles having low numbers since the gen is just starting, we'll see a lot of multi games. They may decrease or increase in the future, depending on how this gen plays out.

If SquarEnix was to port FFXIII it would be to cash in on the US and European markets.
I think SquarEnix will buy their time, wait and see how Blue Dragon and other RPGs fair on the 360 and if PS3 sales continue to be slow port it to the 360 or PC.

Yea, I meant to say that. Just forgot to add the part about initial fanbases. Even with the 360s 10 million, that might not be enough for most developers to want to stay exclusive. Then again, the developers also have to devote extra resources to porting to the PS3 and with the PS3s small fanbase (for now) that may not be worth it. But, the PS3 has yet to launch worldwide, and does have quite a few titles in store this year, so I don't expect the small fanbase to be a problem for too long.

I agree with the comments that this is a sign of things to come, dev costs are sky high this gen so not many titles will be exclusive. MS may have a bit of money to throw round to keep things exclusive or timed-exclusive but I'm not sure there's really much benefit for them in doing that.
I think Dead Rising and Lost Planet sold quite well in Japan (for 360 games) so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see PS3 and PC versions.

The proper response is "LOLZ SONY IS STOOPID THEY GUNA DIE WHUR IS MGS 4"
I will mirror the typical response to this news:
"durrrrr"

Bah, I am still interested in the PS3. Lair and Heavenly Sword look excellent and will be exclusive to the PS3.

And that's not mentioning Ninja Gaiden Sigma, White Knight Story, FFXIII, MGS4, and that in all likelihood, PS3 versions of multiplatform games will be better now that the devs. are finally getting used to the hardware. Apparently, a system cannot have a grace period anymore... the 360 was, after all, perfect upon release.
(Sarcasm... the 360 still isn't very good.)

Not to mention Home and Little Big Pranet. Even if MGS4 and FFXIII were eventually ported to the 360, nobody knows how well they would run and the ps3 would still have exclusives worth owning the system for.

That's fine and well if you lean more towards Eastern games (both you and Apossum do), but with each game that is also coming to 360, the timetable for me picking up a PS3 again keeps getting pushed back.
The only reason for me to pick up a PS3 is for RPG's and Sony exclusives and I think I can wait for a price drop and Greatest Hits status for some of those.

:lol: I know, it seems so crucial to the existence of many 360 fans. How many of them even gave a crap before? All of the sudden DMC4 is the defining game of this gen :roll: It's a great game and I'm glad more people will play it, but jeez...
There are 360 owners that owned PS2s and loved DMC. Not everyone just plain hates Sony.

I'm not sure how you can say that given maybe... 90% of the comments on the board now. Most people don't even seem to have a rationale for hating the PS3 other than a lack of money.

Announcments like this aren't just fuel for the "PS3 SUCKS!!!" fires, though it certainly is that as well. A lot of people are just ahppy that they'll be able to play the games they want without shelling out for another (and a very expensive at that) system, or just excited that they'll play them at all because they could never justify owning all the platforms.

Hey, based on what IGN's news story said, the PC version might actually be good: It's unknown if Capcom will offer unique content for each platform. However, in a press release issues today, Capcom stated that "each version of the game will be maximized to take advantage of the systems' strengths."
That's literally the most commitment that Capcom's ever had towards a PC version. Perhaps MS is pushing them to finally put some effort into it so there's something new for their Games for Windows line...

I'm not sure how you can say...
Maybe because I'm one of them.
The PC version might not even hit at the same time. The PR only states that the PS3 and 360 versions are releasing at the same time.
The horrendousIf (when) Capcom brings Dead Rising to the PS3 I hope they clean it up a bit. I was really underwhelmed with that game. It had a lot of promise and lot of neat ideas, but the control and the overall design of the game were pretty lacking. Sony owners might be better off getting a cross-platform made DR2.
Agreed: I'm positive the success of both Lost Planet and Dead Rising has a lot to do with the dearth of other games like them on the 360. I expect sequels to be multiplatform, and underwhelming to PS3 owners who never played the first ones and wondered what the hoopla was about.

Dude ... I hate to split hairs, but maybe an enhanced port of an Xbox game (Ninja Gaiden) isn't the best way to make a point about PS3 exclusives?

Ditto, my thoughts exactly.

What are the possibility that a dmc trilogy (1,2,3) will come to the xbox 360?
Xbox 360 peeps will have to buy a ps2/ps3 to play dmc 1, 2, 3.

Xbox 360 peeps will have to buy a ps2/ps3 to play dmc 1, 2, 3. I don't think they will, honestly. If you really want to play DMC4, buy a PS2 along with DMC1 and DMC3. Or I guess you could try and play DMC4 without playing the others, I'm not sure on how DMC4 fits into everything else. Plus, if you buy a PS2, you can catch up on a bunch of good games you missed out on.
